NB: This production is aimed at an adult audience. While it isn’t risqué, it’s created for grown-ups to enjoy during term time, and we are not offering a children’s menu.

Get ready for a beanstalk bonanza like no other! With just two actors , a host of hilarious characters and one very big adventure sprouting up between the dinner tables . This is (we believe) the FIRST EVER Castle – Dinner – Panto. All served up indoors, in the  Guthrie Pavilion Restaurant alongside a delicious festive feast.

When Jack exchanges the family cow for a handful of mysterious beans, an epic adventure ensues as the giant beanstalk takes root.

Join Jack and a very overworked  Dame Trott on their moo-vellous mission. As they  milk every laugh, climb every stalk and scramble to outwit the terrifying Giant Blunderbore . Along the way, they’ll battle to save the town and rescue Jack’s legendary bovine bestie, Pat… All in time for dessert! It’s guaranteed to be  Fee-fi-fo-FUN!

This scaled back production for a dining experience, is no semi-skimmed show. It’s a traditional, full-fat froth of slapstick, silliness and lovable characters. Expect songs, dazzling costumes, heaps of audience participation, giggles galore, and a dash of magic. This is  traditional panto mayhem with a minimalist twist. Big on heart, brimming with foolishness and sparkling enough to keep the gravy glistening.

Perfect for big kids, think laughter, toe-tapping tunes, and a happily-ever-after  in this bold, brilliant, and utterly unique take on one of the greenest fairy tales ever told.

Book your table now—it’s the unmissable magical adventure you’ve BEAN waiting for…
Oh yes it is!
